    Janitrol Condensing Furnace Igniter
    Hello,

    What would cause an igniter glow plug to try and light the gas when the cooling is running?
    I had a problem with a clogged condensing drain and was leaking water out of the overflow drain next to the condensate line, this water made it's way down through the furnace to the floor. The purge fan would not kick off but the cooling was working fine. Now that I have unclogged the condensate drain, the cooling is working fine and the small purge fan will kick off. I have disconnected the quick disconnect to the glow plug as it is trying to light when I hook it up even though the thermostat is set to cooling.

    Thermostat is on 76 and being satisfied by the cooling coil. It is 95 outside.
